What's wrong

Blue Bird Bus Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2026-2027 All American school buses. The retention nuts between the wiper blades and the mounting arms may have been improperly tightened.

The risk

Loose fasteners may cause the windshield wipers to become inoperative, reducing visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Dealers will inspect and tighten the fasteners as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 11. 2026. Owners may contact Blue Bird customer service at 1-478-822-2242.
